We’ve all been there: excited by a job posting that seems perfect — full-time remote, great salary, and all the right keywords. Here’s an example:
Remote Business Development Specialist
3 hours ago · 0 applicants
$150K/yr - $300K/yr
Remote/Full-time/Mid-Senior level
It checks all the boxes, right? But as you dig deeper, you find the dreaded fine print:
Disclaimer: "This is a 1099 independent contractor, commission-based role with unlimited earning potential. International candidates are not eligible for this position."
Suddenly, what seemed like a great opportunity is something entirely different. This isn’t a “full-time” job as most of us understand it—consistent hours, steady income, and benefits. Instead, it’s a commission-only gig that requires relentless effort, where your income is directly tied to the hustle you put in. The job that looked like a 9-5 is actually more like 24/7.
This happens all too often—positions that appear full-time remote but, in reality, are high-pressure commission roles.
